filed'March 5, 1915, Serial No. 12,306.

A principal object-of this invention is the provision of an effectivesealing means for v securing a frangible closure in the otherwise openend of such and similar containers. I

A further provision of a readily applied adhesive or cement for securinga frangible closure in lace.

p Other objects and advantages of the in vention will be apparent as itis better understood from the following description when considered inconnection with the. ac-

companying drawing illustrating a preferred embodiment thereof. i

Referring to the drawing,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a container Fig. 3 isa detailed sectionshowingthe adhesive in ositlon and-the body ready to- .receive therangible closure; and

ble closure.

Fig. 4 is a similar View of the same mat- Fig. 5 is a perspective view othe frangi- For the purpose of'illustrating my invention I have s own itembodied in a container of the well known clindrical form.

This container consists o a body A, -a frangible closure C and an outeror friction closure D. The body in the present instance consists of acylinder formed by winding ai vided with aninwardly extending bea ordepression near one end, which bead or depresslon 1s collapsed afterbeing formed to bring the edges 7 of the depression sub object of this.invention is the.

' stantially into contact-so that the outer surface of the containerconsists of a substantially smooth unbroken plane and so that thestructure and the bead or flange thus formed is further stiffened. Acardboard ring 8 is positioned against the collapsed bead 6 and theupperedge 9 of. the body is curled over and rests upon the upper surfaceof the ring 8. The ring 8 forms. a flange member adapted to be engagedby a cover or closure member, as will be later described. The partsarranged as set. forth may receive a proofing rendering it impervious toI the matter it is to contain. The closure consists'of the frangibledisk C preferably of paper, which may or may not be proofed with thesame material as the body.v This frangible disk may beheld in place byan .annular body or adhesive 10 shown in the present instance as seatedin an annular depression 11 formed in the flange-member or rin .8." Thisadhesiveis fed in in any suitab e manner and the edges of the depressionsubstantiall define it within desired limits. 'There ore the fran ibleclo sure is placed into position an pressed down into contact with theflangemember Paan a Mar.16,1920l or ring 8 where itis held by theadhesive. 7

A friction closure D is inserted within the curled over edge 9 whichoverhangs'and holds it in place, .as seen inFig. 1. The friction closureD serves to protect the frangible closure against premature frac 'ture.

of its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoingdescription, and it willbe apparent that various changes may It isthought that the invention and :many 1 be made in the form, constructionand arrangement ofthe parts without departing orsacrificing any of itsmaterial advantages, the form hereinbefore described being merely apreferred embodiment thereof. .Iclaim: v v 1 1. A container comprisingapaper'body having its wall-bent inward to'form a bead, and the ed e ofsaid wall curled over inward and exten ing downward to near said bead,

an open fibrous ring permanently secured between said head and theunder-side of the bottom end of said curled over edgeand extendin inwardbeyond the latter a fran .ble seai g1 permanently attached on the innerfrom the sp1r1t and scope of the inventlon,

partof said ring'over'the openingthereof, 11 0 :and an outer closureremovably' held frictionally against the inner face of said curled overedge of the body.

2.- A contalner-comprlsing a, body 'having an inwardly extending flangenear its top,

fsaid flange being provided with anannular depression, adhesive seatedin said depression and a cover member held in place by i said adhesive.

3. A container comprising a paper body 1 having its wall bent inward'andformed into a .solid bead of double thickness having its edge curledover inward and downwardto near said bead, an open fibrous ring securedpermanently between said edge of the body and said bead and extendinginward beyond I the bead, and a removable fibrous closure said ring andpermanently secured thereto, and a removable outer cover frictionallyheld-in place on said frangible cover and en gaged'partly under theinner outwardly inclined face of the bent end of the body.

5,. A paper container comprising a body a which is bent inwardly andoutwardly near end of the body.

witnesses its top to produce a shoulder, an inwardly extending ringseated on. said shoulder, the edge of the body being bent inwardly anddownwardly and permanently confining said ring, said ring being providedwitha ring of adhesive, a frangible cover member seated on said inwardlyextending ring and permanently held in place by said adhesive, and anouter removable-cover frictionally held in place on said frangible coverand engaged partly under the inner outwardly inclined" face of the bentend of the body.

61A paper container comprising a body which is bent inwardly andoutwardly near its top to produce a shoulder, an inwardly extending ringseated on said shoulder, the

edge of the body being bent'inwardly and downwardly-and permanentlyconfining said ring, said ring being provided with anannular-depression, a ring of adhesive seated in said depression, afrangible cover member seated on said ring and permanently held inplace'by said adhesive, a removable outer cover frictionally held inplace on said frangible cover and engaged partly under the inneroutwardly'inclined face of the bent Signed inthe presence of twosubscribing FREDERICK P. oon Witnesses:
